Message: I have 2 questions. I have a cotton afghan which is tan/offwhite in color. I'd like to get it dyed a chocolate brown. Do you do commissions? 

No, I'm sorry, I cannot take on any additional projects at this time. You can, however, find someone who does on the custom dyers listing from my web site. Contact the dyers by email or telephone to obtain a price quote and mailing instructions. Some of the custom dyers who do this sort of work include True Color Fabric Dyeing and Dye Pro Services.

That leads to my second question....I also have a white cotton jean jacket (not denim..I think it's canvas) which I'd like to get pigment dyed...to either black or something very close (gray/black even is fine). Can you explain what pigment dyeing is?

Pigment dyeing is the use of fabric paint, instead of dye, to get a look of instant age, since the pigments wear off of the fabric much more quickly and easily than good dye. See "Fabric Paints: a different way to color fibers", from the "About Dyes" section of my website.
